After his escape it emerged that he fled using a motorbike on rails.

The exit point was in a newly built farmhouse which had been used as a front for tunnelling work under Altiplano jail.

Guzman bribed his way out of jail to escape in 200, and 30 prison workers were quizzed over his latest breakout.
